Ross, senior advisor and former president and CEO. The event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the B&amp;O Railroad Museum in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>At the event, The Children\u2019s Guild Alliance will present the 2021 Sadie Award to Ross for his 26 years of visionary leadership of The Children\u2019s Guild Alliance and lifetime dedication to putting kids first and transforming the way America cares for and educates its children. The Sadie Award recognizes people who embody the organization\u2019s spirit and vision of making the seemingly impossible possible.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Andrew L. Ross became president and CEO of The Children\u2019s Guild in 1995. When Ross joined The Children\u2019s Guild, the organization had two special education schools, one group home and a $6 million budget. Today, with over an $80 million budget, the organization serves close to 6,000 children through two special education schools, four charter\/contract schools, three therapeutic group homes, a treatment foster care program and a behavioral health program that serves students in 90 schools throughout Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>Ross was instrumental in developing TranZed Apprenticeships, returning preschool programming to The Children\u2019s Guild Alliance and creating Transformation Education, which puts the needs of the child ahead of the needs of the adult and creates a culture of learning to meet the individualized learning styles of each child using brain-based learning methods.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and sponsorships or tickets to The Kids First Celebration, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsfirstamerica.org\/\">KidsFirstAmerica.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Children\u2019s Guild Alliance, a nonprofit organization serving children, families and child-serving organizations in Maryland and Washington, D.C., will hold its 2021 Kids First Celebration, an evening honoring Dr. Andrew [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Children\u2019s Guild Alliance\u2019s Kids First Celebration honors Dr. Andrew L.
